I am very new to Lemmy, and I am using the Eternity app. But I am wondering which one you guys are using, and maybe there are better one’s than Eternity without me knowing

    I use Bilbo, mostly for the free Hobbit memes and because the maintainer is a personal close friend of Simon Baxter of Redwall fame

    I am using boost for lemmy for some time now and am very happy with that app. I’ve tried jerboa, summit and thunder before but they felt somewhat incomplete at the time I used them.

    I’ve bounced around several clients (mobile) and frontends (web) especially when I first started. I’ve eventually settled on Voyager (mobile) and Alexandrite (web frontend).

    Voyager has a lot of neat features that makes browsing Lemmy on mobile smooth and an overall nice experience. It’s got swipe gestures (configurable, but mine has long swipe left to upvote, long swipe left to save, short swipe right to downvote, and long swipe right to reply). There’s also a feature to tag a user, and to keep track of votes (in aggregate, so I wouldn’t know if I give a user an upvote in one thread, and a downvote in another, yielding a net zero, or I just haven’t given that user a vote at all). Still a nice set of features. There might be more that I have yet to discover and use.

    Alexandrite, on the other hand, presents a really good desktop experience. There’s an option to have the posts (on my feed, or a community) on the left side of the screen and the post I’m reading on the right, which is great if I am just scanning a my feed, deciding if I want to take a closer look at a post. I end up mostly just using this mode most of the time.

    Both Voyager and Alexandrite allow me to switch between my Lemmy accounts easily, which is a great plus if you’re having a handful of accounts (for different purposes, like one main, another for NSFW, etc).

    IMO, the clients (for mobile) have a lot of competition going on, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I find a different one I’d like better. Just keep an eye out for those, I guess?

    I came from reddit a few years back and was a staunch baconreader user.

    Eternity for lemmy has been wonderful.

    any “beef” I have is with content/community which are getting better and not related to the client I use.

    I use boost, I like it’s swipe view. It’s mostly just what I was using with reddit and there’s no reason to switch.
